Show Me Your Feeders Pt. 4

fly_girl - Loved the photo of the squirrel. Too funny!!!!!

DebinSC - I, too, have a love/hate relationship with them. But I always remind myself that they were here first. I see so many that are road-kill on the local roads because of all the construction and development in my area. So I let them be and don't mind providing food for them since their natural habitat is shrinking. I've set aside a feeding place in my yard just for them. Luckily, the squirrel baffle works for the bird feeder post, so we have found a happy compromise. :-)

They do have short lives so they might as well be fat and happy.

They can be destructive, I have a large BOP with lovely huge leaves about 10' from the area where I give them peanuts. The other day I watched one as he climbed up to the leaves, stood on the top and slowly rode it down to the ground where it bent and is ruined. I think he was doing it on purpose, there were 5 leaves like that. It would have been funny if that wasn't one of my favorite plants.

Pell, cross off the squirrel feeder lol

Lurker here - I have some pics of my feeders, but I'm on dial-up. So I'll wait for a new thread to post any of them. Meanwhile, I've had a great time seeing all of yours, and reading about all the different types of birds you have.

Today we have sun with cool temps - great day for getting some new pictures!

hi, tgif
I am mostly a reader also. I don't have many good pics to show, but I do love looking at everyone else's feeders and birds. I bought a new double sided suet feeder with a little copper roof. The chickadees have found it.

Does anyone craft their own feeders? I was reading in Birds and Blooms that they are having their annual birdhouse contest. They have some very unique feeders and birdhouses in the magazine.

I made this suet feeder out of a piece of hedge (osage orange) with 1 1/2 " holes drilled about an inch deep. I use a home made suet that even juncos eat. I chose hedge because the bark will stay on indefinitely. Woodpeckers and Blue Jays are frequent visitors.

I've started a new thread at:

Ginni - Please post photos of your feeders on the new thread. Would love to see them! :-)

bluegrassmom - That would be cool to see some homemade feeders! I hope some folks share photos of their creations!

Moonlighter - What a natural looking and neat suet feeder! Very ingenious! :-)
